The New Jersey Devils have assigned center Steve Zalewski to Albany of the AHL Sunday.

Zalewski, 25, had no points or penalty minutes and minus-2 defensive rating in seven games after being called up on Jan. 4. He was a healthy scratch for Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Flyers. Sun, Jan 22, 2012 11:37:00 AM

Steve Zalewski got 12:29 minutes of playing time in his Devils' debut on Friday.

Zalewski was serving as the team's third line center because Travis Zajac (Achilles) was unavailable. Zalewski won eight of his 11 faceoffs. Zajac might return from his injury in the near future, so Zalewski's NHL stint could be a brief one. Sat, Jan 7, 2012 10:50:00 AM

Travis Zajac registered an assist in the Devils' 3-2 win over Vancouver on Tuesday.

He managed to return to the game, sporting a face shield, after he suffered a broken nose. Zajac is on a three-game point streak with him scoring three goals and three assists over that span. He's up to eight goals and 21 points in 25 games this season.

The New Jersey Devils acquired Marc Savard's contract and a 2nd round pick in 2018 for minor leaguers Paul Thompson and Graham Black.

Savard hasn't played in the NHL since 2010-11 because of lingering concussion issues. He hasn't officially retired for contractual reasons, but his playing days are over. The move allows the Panthers to ditch Savard's $4.1 million cap hit. The Devils now have two players that can be placed on long-term injured reserve (Savard and Ryane Clowe).

Taylor Hall scored a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Hall helped set up Adam Henrique's first period goal that tied the game at one, and he picked up a marker of his own with his team trailing 4-1 at the time. The 25-year-old has now put together three consecutive multi-point efforts. He has eight goals and 19 points in 18 games this season. He's the best fantasy option on the Devils' roster and he needs to be started in all formats right now.

Mike Cammalleri is red hot of late with six goals and five assists in his last six games.

That's a lot of production for the veteran forward who started the season off slow with three assists in 10 games but has nine goals and 14 points in his last eight games. He has been outstanding and the Devils are finally starting to score with some regularity with Travis Zajac and Taylor Hall also hitting the scoresheet.

Palmieri shot at a 13.5% clip last year for his first 30-goal season. Tonight's marker gives him four on the season and an 8.7% clip. If he can rise back up to his career's 11.6% clip, then he can at least top 20-goals.

He was medically cleared to return from a leg laceration Monday and is ready to get back into the lineup on Tuesday night. Bennett has missed the last three games and he has seven points in 20 appearances.

Parenteau opened the scoring at the 16:50 mark of the first period. He also added the game-winning goal in the first-round of the shootout. The veteran has surprisingly filled the net so far this season. He already has five goals and one assist in 12 games this season. Nick Lappin also scored for the Devils.

Damon Severson scored the only goal on Saturday night as the New Jersey Devils lost 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Severson had an assist from Taylor Hall and Travis Zajac—their third assist in both cases—but it was not enough to stem the loss. The Devils gained the advantage briefly with this score at the 14:39 minute mark of the first period, but Ben Bishop turned stingy for the remainder of the game and was perfect in the final two periods. This was Severson’s second goal of the season and his ninth point.

Steven Santini will stay in the minors through the weekend at the least.

Santini hasn't played with New Jersey yet this season, but he's spent most of the campaign thus far in the NHL. That being said, he was briefly sent to the AHL on Sunday so that he could get into a minor league game. When he was reassigned again on Wednesday, the question then became if this was another short-term AHL stint and the jury still seems to be out on that.

Cory Schneider allowed five goals on 49 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Schneider faced a lot of rubber, but he wasn't very good tonight. The Canadiens never trailed in this one and they appeared to be in control for most of the game. Schneider will definitely want to have Max Pacioretty's soft third period goal back. The Devils goalie has just one win in his last five outings. His record falls to 9-7-4 in 2016-17, and he'll go into his next start with a 2.72 goals-against-average and a .911 save percentage.
